Human Eye - They Came From the Sky (2011)

This generation's Alien Soundtracks. They Came From the Sky is an album involving alien abduction, cross-species impregnation, mind altering experiments and finally alien invasion. I'd be surprised, to say the least, if these guys didn't admit to a predilection for Chrome. Allmusic.com states that "[e]very so often, some brave or foolish or utterly unhinged band comes along and tries to reinvent punk rock, making the attempt to push the genre in new directions while trying to get the old beast snarling again. While most bands are content to call it a day after roughing things up a little, it's clear that for Detroit's Human Eye, that's simply not enough. On their third album, They Came From the Sky, the band doesn't just get in there and slap punk around a little, but rather they feed it LSD and wail on it with whatever happens to be lying around while shouting that the sky is falling, running the whole thing through some kind of ad hoc MK-ULTRA experiment designed to test the genre's limits. The psychedelic approach pays off for them as they run the raw power of punk through a garage-psych kaleidoscope, with driving jams like "Alien Freaks" alternating between pedal-to-the-metal intensity and Zappa-esque space rock freakouts."


Sacred Bones Records is doing great things.
